Bypass Instagram and Facebook's Terms and Conditions 2020 | Setting Up OldGregg on Raspberry Pi

Instagram and Facebook recently changed their terms and conditions in a way that made some users uncomfortable. Many chose to delete their accounts and remove the apps from their phone to avoid these invasive new policies. What if there was a way to browse your favorite social media apps without giving them permission to access every area of your life? The idea behind OldGregg is simple: set up a virtual private network (VPN) using OpenVPN on a Raspberry Pi and spoof the DNS server using OpenDNS giving you access to browse social media without giving them access to your iPhone, cameras, or microphone. OpenVPN and OpenDNS are both free services and the Raspberry Pi is a low cost, single-board computer that can be used to surf the web quickly and easily.

Have you ever been having a conversation about an exciting new product you’d like to try only to be browsing your feed later when you stumble upon a perfectly curated ad about that specific product? This is because of carefully crafted algorithms designed to use your mic and browsing habits to send you relevant ads. By nature, these algorithms are not bad. In fact, they are doing a good thing! But due to the scrutiny social media has come under recently over their invasive privacy policy and terms & conditions it seemed like a good idea to find a way around this issue. Many people just have too much invested in their social media accounts and connections to delete them from their lives. But you can remove their apps from your phone and stop using their websites on your main computer, which effectively removes their access to your life. Fortunately, that is where OldGregg comes in. Simply download the files from GitHub to your Raspberry Pi, install the requirements, and then start the script to set up the isolated browsing environment. You can even enable VNC and login to the Raspberry Pi from your main computer through a VNC viewer! I have my OldGregg Raspberry Pi plugged into our home router via ethernet and connect back to it using VNC for a fast connection.
